   <description>    &lt;p&gt;Lately, I found so many good references in Interior Design for spaces to share have a drink, spend some time... So let's start a small serie of the latest best design for cafés.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999&quot;&gt;Ces derniers temps, j'ai trouvé de très bonnes références de Design pour des espaces à vivre, à partager, pour prendre un verre, passer du temps... Et si nous faisions une petite série des meilleurs intérieurs de cafés, découverts récemment.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;First One&amp;nbsp;: The Old Library in Sidney,&lt;/strong&gt; designed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.heckerguthrie.com/&quot;&gt;Hecker Gutrie&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.victona.com/blog/public/images-articles/case_study/the_old_library/.3-glarge_m.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;3-glarge.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
the Old Library building dates from 1908 (church that was later converted into a library). &lt;br /&gt;
Lofty, white-painted vaulted space with fireplace alcoves, industrial lighting...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999&quot;&gt;The Old Library dates de 1908, (église convertie tardivement en bibliothèque)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999&quot;&gt;Une allure de loft, grands espaces voutés peints en blancs avec des alcôves pour les cheminées, des luminaires industriels...&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

White Billiani Aloe chairs add a modern note to the interiors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;The Design Republic Commune&lt;/strong&gt;, envisions itself as a design hub, a gathering space for designers and design patrons alike to admire, ponder, exchange, learn, and consume. It houses the new flagship store for Design Republic, a modern furniture retailer, alongside a mixture of design-focused retail concepts, including books, fashion, lighting, accessories and flowers. The Commune will also have a design gallery, an event space, a café, a restaurant (by Michelin-Starred Chef Jason Atherton) + a one-bedroom Design Republic apartment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Design Republic Commune&lt;/strong&gt;, se décrit comme une plateforme, un centre d'affaire du design, une espace de rencontre destiné aux designers et mécènes pour partager, échanger, admirer, apprendre, réfléchir. Cet endroit héberge aussi le nouveau magasin phare de Design Republic, revendeur de mobilier, au milieu d'un mélange de concepts de lieux de vente à 'approche design, avec des livres, de la mode, des luminaires, accessoires et fleurs. La Commune aura aussi une gallerie de design, un espace dédié aux évènements, un café et un restaurant (par le chef étoilé au Michelin Jason Atherton) + un appartement une chambre Design Republic.&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Situated within the historic relic of the Police Headquarters built by the British in the 1910s, &lt;strong&gt;the project takes a surgical approach to renovation&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
First, gently removing the decaying wood and plaster, then carefully restoring the still vibrant red brickwork, while grafting on skin, joints, and organs onto parts that needed reconstruction. &lt;br /&gt;
And finally with the attachment of a brand new appendage which, like a prosthetic, enables the existing building to perform new functions, the nearly abandoned building begins its life again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999&quot;&gt;Situé dans la zone historique du quartier général de la police à Shangai, construit par les Britanniques dans les annéees 1910, le projet s'est donné la peine &lt;strong&gt;d'une rénovation quasi chirurgicale du bâtiment.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
D'abord retirer le bois et le plâtre délabré, puis rénover avec précaution la brique rouge  encore vivante, tout en greffant sur la peau des articulations, des organes sur les endroits qui nécessitait reconstruction.&lt;br /&gt;
Pour finir avec une toute nouvelle appendice, comme une prothèse, permettant au bâtiment de nouvelles fonctions... le bâtiment presque abandonné retrouve une deuxième jeunesse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Neri&amp;amp;Hu introduced a modern glassy insertion onto the brick façade. To accentuate the historic nature of the main building, the street level periphery is enveloped by transparent glazing to reveal the existing brickwork and rough concrete structures.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.victona.com/blog/public/images-articles/case_study/design_republic/.The_Design_Republic_Commune_Neri_and_Hu2-via-victona_m.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;The_Design_Republic_Commune_Neri_and_Hu2-via-victona.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Various small and precise incisions have been made in the interior architecture to reveal the building’s history and integrity. The modern white rooms are juxtaposed with untouched remnants of brick walls, and in some cases, exposed wood laths underneath crumbling plaster walls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;The clear intentionality behind juxtaposing  the old and the new to create a visually and spatially balance.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Very very well done.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999&quot;&gt;De petites incisions précises et variées ont été faites à l'intérieur pour révéler l'intégrité et lle caractère historique du bâtiment. Les grandes pièces blanches contemporaines cotoient et se frottent à des vestiges de morceaux de brique, et dans certains cas de bois mis à nu derrière des parties de plâtre qui s'effritent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Intention claire derrière le fait de juxtaposer l'ancien et le contemporain pour créer un équilibre visuel et spatial.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Très très bien fait.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A new simple and nice spot in Paris&amp;nbsp;; where identity has been signed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://work.poolhouse.eu/&quot;&gt;Studio Pool&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;: visual identity, interior design, furniture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999&quot;&gt;Une nouvelle adresse simple et sympa dont l'identité globale a été signée par le &lt;a href=&quot;http://work.poolhouse.eu/&quot;&gt;Studio Pool&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;: identité visuelle, architecture intérieure, mobilier.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The design of Craft is bold, with prominent architectural lines, a strong monochrome palette and industrial materials throughout. The overall feel is graphic and strong but with traditional elements. Floor, is met by parquet and checkered tiles reminiscent of Haussmann Styled Parisian apartments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999&quot;&gt;Le design de Craft est marqué, osé, avec des lignes architecturales fortes, un palette monochrome forte et des matériaux industriels. Le sentiment général est graphique et fort mais avec des éléments traditionnels. Le sol, est un mix de parquets et de carrelages en damier&amp;nbsp;; non sans rappeler le style Haussmanien de certains appartements Parisiens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fresh overall feel that is softened by functional and homely touches such as furniture, large brass handles, bold and functional Vulcan lighting, benches... all maintaining the spirit of cafe culture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Craft is the evolution of café culture for a modern age.&lt;/strong&gt; It's a &lt;strong&gt;work space, a homely place to relax, and a sociable space to mingle&lt;/strong&gt; and is set to become an institution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999&quot;&gt;Un sentiment général de fraîcheur, adouci par des touches fonctionnelles et simples, comme le mobilier, poignées de portes en laiton, bancs... le tout en conservant l'esprit et la culture du café.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Craft, c'est l'évolution de la culture du café adapté à notre monde moderne. Un espace de travail, un endroit comme à la maison pour se relaxer, un endroit social pour se mélanger&lt;/strong&gt; les clefs pour devenir une institution.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;North Advertising by Skylab Architecture&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your workplace and the atmosphere surrounding you determine the way you work and explore your imagination. &lt;strong&gt;The more inspirational your workplace is, the easier it is to break the creativity block and discover new ideas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
After a small tour on Silicon Valley various campus last week&amp;nbsp;; the conclusion is pretty clear. They've tried to change the 'usual' way of working.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999&quot;&gt;Votre lieu de travail et l'atmosphère environnante détermine clairement la façon dont vous travaillez et stimule ou non votre imagination. &lt;strong&gt;Plus votre environnement de travail suscite l'inspiration, plus facile il est d'ouvrir le champ des possibles et de découvrir de nouvelles idées.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Après un tour dans différents campus de la Silicon Valley la semaine dernière&amp;nbsp;; la conclusion est assez claire. Ils ont vraiment essayé de changer les façons 'traditionnelles' de travailler.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.victona.com/blog/public/images-articles/case_study/school_office/trend_hitech/.SkypePaloAltoOffice_via_victona_m.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;SkypePaloAltoOffice_via_victona.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.victona.com/blog/public/images-articles/case_study/school_office/trend_hitech/.SkypePaloAltoOffice2_via_victona_m.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;SkypePaloAltoOffice2_via_victona.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Skype Palo Alto&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The biggest, Apple, Google, Facebook, Aol, Skype... they all tend in the same direction, even if the design and spirit is different&amp;nbsp;; no physical hierarchy in the office for the best interactivity, &lt;strong&gt;flexibility + the same state of mind&amp;nbsp;: 'we are cool'.&lt;/strong&gt; You can feel it according to the clothes they wear but also to the number of lounges, kitchens areas full of free snacks, booths, playful areas with games...&lt;br /&gt;Entertainment space is also key.&lt;br /&gt;
Because one of the driving forces behind a company’s strategy today is attraction and retention of talents, many corporations are catering to employees. More than ever before, place matters. Creative types want to live in communities that are unique and inspiring.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999&quot;&gt;Les plus grands, Apple, Google, Facebook, Aol, Skype... vont tous dans la meme direction, meme si le design et l'esprit sont différents&amp;nbsp;; pas de hiérarchie physique dans les bureaux pour la meilleure interactivité possible, &lt;strong&gt;de la flexibilité, + le meme état d'esprit&amp;nbsp;: 'on est cools'.&lt;/strong&gt; On peut le ressentir à la tenue vestimentaire décontractée, mais aussi au nombre de lounges et de coins cuisine que l'on trouve, emplis de snacks, recoins, aire de jeux... Le divertissement est aussi un élément clef.&lt;br /&gt;
Parce qu'un des éléments majeurs de la stratégie des entreprises aujourd'hui est l'attraction et la rétention des talents, nombreuses sont celles qui nourrissent leurs employés ;-). Plus que jamais l'espace compte. Les créatifs veulent vivre dans des communautés, uniques et pleines d'inspiration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Clearly they want to give the feeling that they stayed really creative, like when they were startups. &lt;strong&gt;The takeaway message for the real estate sector?&lt;/strong&gt; To remain competitive in the age of the knowledge economy, real estate owners must keep space with an increasingly mobile, internet-connected workforce as well as with ongoing changes in technology. They must also support the way companies are structuring their staffs to foster more collaboration and efficiency, while addressing the values and attitudes of new generations of workers.&lt;br /&gt;
And... Not only high-tech companies looking for unusual spaces that are reflective of their corporate culture... they just launched the trend!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: #999&quot;&gt;Clairement, ils veulent donner le sentiment d'etre restés ultra créatifs, comme des startups. &lt;strong&gt;Le message à retenir pour le milieu de l'immobilier ?&lt;/strong&gt; Pour rester compétitif, les propriétaires doivent conserver les espaces dans la tendance mobile, flexible, très connectés aux réseaux&amp;nbsp;; et garder un oeil sur les technologies montantes. Ils doivent aussi supporter la façon dont les boites structurent leur personnel pour induire plus de collaboration et d'efficacité, tout en dressant clairement les valeurs pour les futures génération de travailleurs... &lt;br /&gt;
Et... les entreprises de high-tech ne sont pas les seules à chercher des endroits insolites pour refléter leur culture d'entreprise... Ils ont juste lancé la tendance!&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
